Overview

Selling and buying a home is one of the most important events in our lives. For most of us, home equity is our primary form of savings. We count on it for retirement, to help finance our children’s education, or perhaps to accumulate a down payment for our dream home.

The mission of FsboLocal.com is to help everyone save their hard-earned equity. Our company is NOT a commission-based real estate brokerage service and is NOT owned or controlled by a real estate broker charging on a percentage commission basis.

Customers pay a flat advertisement fee for a set time, with low-cost renewal terms, if they need to extend their ad. Home buyers are free to search the site and contact the sellers directly.

How It Works - For Sellers

• You can check the rate of FsboLocal advertisements in your region by selecting the “Advertisement Rates” tab.
• All you need to do is enter your zip code and select the type of property you are selling.

• When you select the “Create/Place Ad” tab, you will be redirected to a page where you will choose between: Home, Mobile Home, Lot, and Commercial Property.
• Next, you will enter the property’s zip code and select “Next”.
• You will have the option of choosing between the 2 month and 4 month ad packages. In some cities 3 months and 4 month option is available instead of 2 month and 4 month.

• You will have the opportunity to upload pictures and input home details, highlights, room dimensions, and more.
• If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, our FSBOLocal Contact will enter the information you provide. Once entered successfully (don’t forget the last step to “Submit”) you will be able to create a user ID and Password. These can be used later to update or modify your ad (including posting an open house). The only item you cannot change on your own is your e-mail address: for that you must contact your FsboLocal contact. (There is no price difference whether you take your own pictures or our Local Representative/Photographer takes the pictures, the cost of photography is included in the package rates).
• As you compose your ad you will have the option to display a small banner which states: "Agents with potential buyers are welcome". Many of our customers are pleased to choose this option and do sell to represented buyers (without listing the property with an agent). You may receive calls from agents even if you do not choose this option.
• After pictures have been taken and the ad is created, your ad will be reviewed by our Local Representative and will be viewable on the website within 48 hours, but in most cases within 24 hours. After your Ad is available on the website, you will be contacted (via email) asked to inform us if there is any error in your ad.

• You may pay via PayPal or check. If you choose to pay by check, our FsboLocal associate will collect your check at the time your yard sign is delivered. Note: To pay via PayPal it is not required that you have a PayPal account, any credit card or debit card will work.
• Please Note: We have no refund policy. After the property is sold or Ad is cancelled by customer there will be no partial refund.

• After you create your ad, our FSBOLocal associate will contact you to provide the yard sign with your phone number attached.
• “Open House” and directional signs can also be purchased for $6.00 each. Please check with your city on rules and regulations regarding signs.

• After you enter into a written agreement with a buyer you should change the status of your home ad from "ACTIVE" to "SOLD" or "PENDING" using "Update Ad" or just contact your FSBOLocal associate. Please attach the "SOLD" sign to your yard sign. We will retrieve the yard sign within 2 to 4 weeks after your status is posted as sold.

Please contact our local representative in your area, he/she will be happy to assist and answer any questions about the website, our policies and our services.

How It Works - For Buyers

• To view homes for sale, click on the “View Homes For Sale” tab.
• Enter your search criteria and select “Search”.

• If you are interested in a particular home, contact the seller via the email or phone number in the ad.

• FSBOLocal provides no assistance in preparing a purchase agreement. You should retain the services of a real-estate attorney (see advertisements which appear through links on our website after performing a home search on your city). Please note: All ads for service providers on our website (including attorneys) are paid advertisements. Compensation for their services is not included in our pricing.

• Please send an email to kaz@fsbolocal.com with any questions or suggestions.
